UNTIL
Musiq Soulchild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It won't have no effect on this love at all
If in another time I was you and you was I
You know I'd still recognize you all the same
This kinda love don't ever change cause
[Chorus]
I'll be lovin' you till the sun starts shinin' blue
Lovin' you until all of time is standing still
Nothing's ever been as real to me
As this love, this love, this love
Lovin' you until (2073)
We'll still be together in (2084)
In love more than ever in (2093)
This love just won't ever end (2000)
Until (2000) until (2000) until 2000 and forever
Now if dreams could dream just like people do
I believe they'd dream the dream of the love between me and you
And even though we'll fight and may not get along sometimes
It's cool cause I know that if I fight with you and cry with you
I can make it up all night with you so
[Chorus]
If love ever fades away
We'll still find some to make us
Time don't apply to you and I
Cause this love goes as far as eternity
Way beyond infinity
And long after we're dead and gone
We'll still be holdin' on cause
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Musiq Soulchild's song "Until" express a deep and unwavering commitment to love. The singer proclaims that no matter what happens in the world or in their lives, nothing will diminish the strength and longevity of his love for his partner. He uses the changing seasons and even the hypothetical scenario of trading places with each other to emphasize that their love is not dependent on circumstances, but rather a constant force.
The chorus repeats the idea of "lovin' you until" various milestones in the future, from "the sun starts shinin' blue" to "2000 and forever." The specific years mentioned and the repetition of "until" emphasize the idea of a love that will endure for a very long time, possibly even beyond their mortal lives, and that this love is the most real and important thing in the singer's life.
The second verse adds a poetic touch, imagining that even dreams would dream of their love. The lyrics acknowledge that conflicts and disagreements may arise, but the singer is confident that their love can overcome them and strengthen their bond. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the commitment to an everlasting love that transcends time.

This is an extremely underrated song it sounds like a cross between Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. The harmonies are ridiculous. Simply Amazing is the flow to this song. Well done
